Bikes For The World

I try to volunteer at Bikes For The World most Thursdays over the summer. My job while there is to process and compact bikes to be able to fit in shipping containers that are sent to communities in Costa Rica, Kenya, and Sierra Leone to name a few. In addition to working at their warehouse in Rockville, this past spring I ran a bike drive at my school where we collected over 50 bikes.
